Ousmane Dembélé (Paris Saint-Germain)
October 2025
Back from a hamstring layoff and fresh Ballon d’Or honour, Dembélé struck in a 30-minute cameo as PSG dismantled Leverkusen 7–2 to stay perfect in Europe. Red cards for Andrich and Zabarnyi compounded the Bundesliga side’s collapse. Luis Enrique’s press and wide overloads pinned Leverkusen deep; early territorial dominance snowballed into high-value box entries. Dembélé restored directness and 1v1 threat, while rotations with Nuno Mendes created repeatable cutback lanes, turning control into ruthless shot volume.
